Denver's Fathers is a band that isn't easy to categorize, but what is clear is how crushing their material is. A sludgy guitar tone and percussive-heavy rythmic attack permeates everything they do, and while they cite such bands as ISIS and Whores. as prime influences, there's more of a racous hardcore vibe to what these guys are doing. Fathers' eponymous debut full-length album is a menacing trip that goes quiet and atmospheric one moment, and then turns around and beats you over the head with a hammer of distorted guitars and maniacal vocals.
With the Fathers album getting the limited edition vinyl treatment from Sailor Records on March 30, the gentlemen of the band have blessed the site with a list of some other bands from the Denver area we should all check out.
Spells
5-piece raucous punk rock band that often sets up and plays in the crowd.
Its Just Bugs
New dark hip-hop full band with progressive lyrics, like a mix between Holy Fuck and Death Grips.

Poolside at the Flamingo
